Episode 19 - Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin vs Laurie Anderson

Lee and Keir Kyle are back with episode 19 of Oh Vienna podcast, the podcast about songs that battled it out for the top spot in the UK Charts.

Incredibly, this time, they mostly focus on the music.

Unsurprisingly too as this takes us back to 1981 and two songs that never get played on oldies radio as they're just too weird.

At number 1 was It's My Party, a prog/synth oddball cover version by Dave Stewart (Not that one) and Barbara Gaskill.

And at number 2 is possibly the strangest song to become a hit ever, O Superman by Laurie Anderson.

We try to get our head around exactly why it captured the imagination of the public.

This was available a week ago at patreon.com/feltowt where bonus content can be found now.

Father and son Lee and Keir Kyle chat about songs that didn't get to number one in the UK charts and try and decide whether they should have or not.
